I decided that perhaps I could make the image graphically more interesting, I could make the eye shift, and distort the image slightly, using the knowledge I have gained in how to apply colour, I could create pieces that made the image dance, that made your eyes dart. These prints perhaps add a new element, an element of cutting away, abstracting and pushing the way one looks at a portrait print.
I was intrigued with the shift in prints and started thinking about the 3-D images we used to get in books, cereal boxes and other collectibles. We would use 3-D glasses to view them and they seem to pop out of the background and even move. The glasses would have either red and blue lenses or red and green.
